Is the G-8 emissions agreement a significant step towards reduced emissions?
World leaders on Tuesday endorsed halving world emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 but stopped short of tough, nearer-term targets. The G-8 leaders are calling this a significant step forward in the battle to stem the potentially dangerous rise in world temperature. However, many critics disagree, saying that the leaders need to set aggressive near term goals to begin moving down the path of reduced emissions. What do you think?
Yes, this is significant

what about developed countries like U.S. that have citizens in major cities like Detroit, L.A., Dallas, and such that are developing Asama from the waste output from the factories and plants? I do not think we can blame underdeveloped countries for waste especially because major countries are the ones with factories in some countries like Honduras, Pakistan, and Indonesia. I do agree with you though on one point, that China and India need major improvement in their ethical treatment of the world. Posted 146 days ago | Tagged As: emissions
the U.S. is the most olluting per capita while China is the most polluting. Then again, the U.S. lost so much of its manufacturing base which went where? You guessed it, China. With that said, China has over 1.8 trillion that they could use to clean up their ways. Now, if only their sleazeball, opportunistic politicians would stop accepting bribes to look the other way....
